Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

2 And he made the sea cast ten by the cubit from lip its to lip its round - all around and five by the cubit height its and a measuring-line thirty by the cubit it went round it all around.

And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

3 And [the] likeness of oxen [was] under it all around - all around going round it ten by the cubit surrounding the sea all around [were] two rows the cattle cast in casting its.

And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.

4 [it was] standing On two [plus] ten cattle three [were] turning - north-ward and three [were] turning - west-ward and three - [were] turning south-ward and three [were] turning east-ward and the sea [was] on them from to above and all hindquarters their [were] inside towards.

It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.

5 And thickness its [was] a hand breadth and lip its [was] like [the] work of [the] lip of a cup [the] blossom of a lily holding baths three thousand it contained.

It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take three thousand baths.

6 And he made lavers ten and he put five from [the] south and five from [the] left to wash in them [the] work of the burnt offering people rinsed in them and the sea to wash [was] for the priests in it.

And he made ten washing-vessels, putting five on the right side and five on the left; such things as were used in making the burned offering were washed in them; but the great water-vessel was to be used by the priests for washing themselves.

7 And he made [the] lampstands of gold ten according to ordinance their and he put [them] in the temple five from [the] south and five from [the] north.

And he made the ten gold supports for the lights, as directions had been given for them, and he put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left.

He put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house to the east, facing south.

11 And he made Huram the pots and the shovels and the bowls. And he finished (Huram *Q(K)*) to do the work which he did for the king Solomon on [the] house of God.

And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:

12 Pillars two and the bowls and the capitals on [the] top of the pillars two and the networks two to cover [the] two [the] bowls of the capitals which [were] on [the] top of the pillars.

The two pillars, and the two crowns on the tops of the pillars, and the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the tops of the pillars;

13 And the pomegranates four hundred for [the] two the networks two rows pomegranates for the network one to cover [the] two [the] bowls of the capitals which [were] on [the] face of the pillars.

And the four hundred apples for the network, two lines of apples for the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the pillars.

And he made the ten bases and the ten washing-vessels which were on the bases;

15 The sea one and the cattle two [plus] ten under it.

17 In [the] valley of the Jordan he cast them the king in [the] thickness of the ground between Succoth and between Zeredah.

The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.

18 And he made Solomon all the articles these to abundance exceedingly that not it was ascertained [the] weight of the bronze.

So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.

19 And he made Solomon all the articles which [were] [the] house of God and [the] altar of gold and the tables and on them [the] bread of the presence.

And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,
